This Is What A Two-Year Old Looks Like The Night Before She Turns Three!
Nui Nui was writing Happy Birthday in her party hat she got via a goodie bag from a friend in school who had a birthday days before hers.

Pretty Girl In A Pretty Dress With A Pretty Smile Sets The Table And Writes '10'!
Nui Nui has been wanting to take on more responsibility (and I'm all for it) and it first started with the napkins and now she can set the table. She was so proud of herself, as was I :>
While we were hanging outside with our sidewalk chalk, Nui Nui wanted me write the number ten. This was our conversation:
Nui Nui: Momma, write 10! Write a one and a zero! [she showed me a one with her fingers :>]
Me: No, you write me 10.
Nui Nui: No, I don't know how.
Me: Yeah, you do. Write a one and a zero, or an O, together.
Nui Nui: Ok.
...And then she does! This is what it looked like! :>

How I Teach My Kid To Read - Stage 0?
Nui Nui still doesn't know how to hold a pencil/crayon properly. I need to do better working with her on that.
On the reading front, I've been teaching her how to read the first letter of words and associating sounds with letter. With that, she's been doing quite well, 'M' being the easiest (obviously) :>
This is how it goes: She got this sheet of Thomas and Friends and there's probably 30-40 trains with names and, for some reason, she loves identifying Thomas and all his friends, so she asks me 'What's that?'. I correct her and say, 'Who's that?' and proceed to ask her what the first letter is. I know she knows all the letters. If she doesn't read it, she's just being lazy. When she does, though, I ask her what sound the letter makes. She sometimes gets it, sometimes doesn't. Once established, I start saying words that start with the letter for her to make the connection with the sound and other words that start with the letter— trying to help her identify commonality (first letters) of words.
She's slowly becoming more confident in reading that first letter and getting better at associating sounds with letters and sometimes even coming up with a word with that letter too. Progress :>
These are a few of my favorite learning moments of this week :> [Pulled from my Vlogmas videos— check those out if you haven't already :>]
Any tips on learning how to read or hold a pencil?
